E-learning for Nuclear Newcomers
Is your country considering nuclear power?
The IAEA is here to help!
We have created an interactive e-learning series explaining the
IAEA’s Milestones Approach to introducing a nuclear power programme.
This approach is based on three phases and covers the 19 infrastructure
issues that need to be addressed, and brings decades of expertise to
life. Both newcomers and those expanding their nuclear power programmes
may benefit from the e-learning series.
E-learning Modules
We have developed several interactive and engaging e-learning modules for nuclear power development:
Module 5
Construction Management
addresses the key challenges in constructing a nuclear
power plant as part of the nuclear power programme
Module 7
Feasibility Study
represents an important step in the justification of
a nuclear power plant new build project
Module 8
Management Systems
explains why a management system is needed and
the steps to develop, implement and continually improve it
Module 9
Safety Infrastructure
defines safety infrastructure and its importance
in a nuclear power program
More e-learning modules will be available during 2014:
- Module 11: Safeguards
- Module 12: Management of Spent Fuel and Radioactive Waste
Do you need help navigating through the e-learning modules?
Based on a feedback we’ve got from users we have now created the User Guide Animation together with the accompanying
PDF.
This User Guide has been designed to help you to use the IAEA
Milestones e-learning modules. It will guide you through the basic
navigation and some of the key features of the e-learning. It will also
provide some useful hints and tips to make your journey through the
e-learning as easy as possible.
Who benefits?
The e-learning modules target a variety of stakeholders in Member
States interested in or embarking on a nuclear power programme:
Decision makers, advisers and senior managers in governmental
organizations, regulatory bodies, utilities and industries, as well as
donors, suppliers and other related bodies.
Students, academics and researchers in the nuclear field may better
understand the "big picture" of developing nuclear power programmes.
Those involved in expanding existing nuclear power programmes may also find the modules a valuable resource.
Whatever your role or interest in your country's nuclear power
programme, this e-learning will further you knowledge and understanding.
Acknowledgement
This e-learning project is supported by an extrabudgetary
contribution from the Republic of Korea under the Peaceful Uses
Initiative. It is implemented by the Nuclear Infrastructure Development
Section (
NIDS) with support from the Nuclear Power Engineering Section (
NPES) of the IAEA Department of Nuclear Energy.
All of the modules are based on the IAEA publications
"Milestones in the Development of a National Infrastructure for Nuclear Power" (Nuclear Energy Series No. NG-G-3.1), other relevant IAEA publications, and current experiences from newcomer countries.
Feedback
We would really appreciate receiving your feedback on this
e-learning material to try to make future modules even better. When
you’ve completed any of the modules in the series, please send any
feedback you have to the IAEA's Nuclear Energy Human Resource Development - Contact Point. Thank you!
